So any more input into an updated list now that the City AAA rosters are set, along with any rural names, that would make this list more accurate. Maybe we can put together a top 20 forwards, top 10 defense and top 5 goalies list, which can be compared at the end of the season, adding and deleting as the year goes on. Just wondering, so maybe we can have a "WHO TO WATCH" list prior to Director's Cup.

I heard that there will be Route 90, Mustangs, Moose, Bisons, a new team run thru Ketchen, Pepsi and one other team. No Colts though. Of course this is all subject to hearsay and may or will possibly change. Sorry I couldn't be more exact.

You maybe right that only 20 will get drafted, but are wrong about the AA part. There are alot of talented boys who are rural that should be on that list. I guess we will have to wait and see after this springs Director's Cup as this list will definitly change. To me this list looks like the team line ups from last years Winnipeg AA teams with a little mix of the Spring teams. Like I said before I am not complaining, just wondering, because if this is the case it really isn't insightful. Some names from rural that come to mind that are deserving to be on the list are :

i heard the colts will be out for another year ,

due to bolts splitting , ketchens starting a team with mario petits dad and darian penners dad is starting a team named "shox"

and the jr moose will be back along with crunch (so i have heard )

plus there are always crappy teams that have 1 and 2 year runs before droppping out due to going 2-27 (like Jr.riels, rivermen)

in AA i only know the vics all star lineup
on forwards Tyler kee Ryan Schneider and Travis Blaine all good decisions and on d : keigan banerman good pick and jame unrau ? i didn't think was a very talented player and looked to be worst on team ... missed Riley moskal (only other d veteran beside`s bannerman ) and Derek smerchianski and Robert harrow though they look alright
and in AAA i know Tyler brown is in the all star game and Anderson and i heard bouchard and taraschuk but not sure about those

i know Ryan Gardiner and Tyler Anderson were the final 2 in the shot competition before the radar gun broke and Tyler Anderson won d of the game Ethan Williams won most outstanding player keegan kolesar won top forward and troy martyinuik took top goalie
goalie stats went:
team 1: Tyler brown- 2 goals against
Adam Jones-2 goals against

I have been following this age group for some time now, both city and rural (winter and summer)....and one you have overlooked is the vaeth kid from Crunch/Seine River. he has alot of skill and just plain wins. saw him beat Pepsi and handle Colts in summer, and was starting goaltender as '97 in Bantam AA All-star (Rural) game on team full of '96s. he is son of the Goldeyes coach and talking with scouts i know, will be watched for next year. waiting to hear from my friend in Eastman Minor hockey if he made Directors Cup

Zimmer would easily top 3 in the city. He may be going to Notre Dame next yr and Hockey MB has an new initiative for next season in the works. Each region will have Regional AAA team which will compete in 3 tourns next year and possibly a provincial. Pretty sure Zimmer will open eyes at D CUP!

I am a first time user here, and i just saw this and i have been around the city watching some aaa and aa games during the year. There are many kids on here that i don't agree with, and there could be many additions as well. Also, i happened to watch some playoffs between the Hawks and Warriors, and there's a GIRL on the hawks! Anybody heard anything about her before? Last name Bracken.

By the way, HABS are gonna win the CUP!!

Winnipeg AA was a bit of a suprise! They looked pretty good out there!
